Viva Now Has Patterns!!!! Ugh.

AI had to run out to get more Viva towels to smooth my cake this morning (hubby used the last of the roll for cleaning golf clubs - argh!) I couldn't find the old style Viva - they have a new "vantage v-flex weave" for more scrubbing power! and it has a "V" pattern. Guess I'll go back to using parchment paper... I hope I can find the old style somewhere but no time today - got a cake to do! :-(

I just went onto the Viva Facebook page and noticed that someone posted that they hated the new and improved towels - this was Viva's official response:

TowelsHi Lisa- Don't worry, we have not gotten rid of our original Viva Towels that you love. They are still available and will not be going anywhere. We have added Viva Vantage as an additional option for our consumers. They offer additional scrubbing power and stretch for those tough messes you may face. Thank you!

AOh thank goodness! Now I just have to find them. I went to 3 different grocery stores and none of them had the old ones. Thanks for researching. I never thought to go to their website. You rock and thanks for the relief! Hugs.

3. Many of our customers talk to the managers of their local markets and ask them to stock an item. You may find that they are happy to accommodate your request.

I hope these three options are helpful to you and that you get the items you want right away. Please know that we are here to help you. Feel free to contact us again with more questions. Meanwhile, have a wonderful day.

Hi, I am a cake decorator and I am reading on several of my cake blogs this morning that fellow decorators are not finding the regular Viva towels on the shelves and they have been replaced with your new towels that have a patten I embossed on them. Many, many, many of us cake decorators use your towels to smooth our icing on our cakes because it is the only towel without a pattern! Please tell me the originals will remain available!! Else, I am going to begin buying up and hoarding everything I can find.
